Why Customers Love It

• Pristine, fragrant white flowers that look elegant from any distance

• Steady bloomer in full sun with simple tablet feeding

• Versatile: excellent in lined ponds, wide containers, or natural shelves

• Hardy & reliable—returns every year with minimal care

Plant Requirements (quick reference)

• Sun: Full sun, 6+ hours of strong midday light

• Container: 15"+ wide, shallow aquatic container (fabric pots preferred)

• Depth (soil surface → water surface): 6–30" (best bloom 8–18")

• Spread: ~4–5 ft at maturity

• Soil: Heavy loam topsoil only (no bagged mix, peat, or gravel)

Care & Fertilizing (simple schedule)

• Fertilizer tablets: 4–5 tablets on the 1st & 15th each month (May–September)

• Application: Push tablets 3–4" into the soil around (not on) the crown

• Maintenance: Trim spent blooms/yellow leaves; divide every 2–3 years to maintain strong flowering

Water Lily Planting Tips

• Plant shallower (8–14") to warm the crown and jump-start budding

• Keep surface water open and unshaded—pads are your solar panels for flowers

• Never cover the crown with stones or gravel; leave it slightly exposed

• Use wide, shallow containers to encourage rhizome run and more flowers

• Place away from splashing/aeration; still water shows blooms best

Do’s & Don’ts

Do

• Plant in full sun and heavy loam

• Fertilize twice monthly on schedule for continuous blooms

• Repot immediately on arrival; keep all parts wet while planting

Don’t

• ❌ Don’t use compost/peat mixes, “aquatic media,” or gravel (they float, rot, or smother crowns)

• ❌ Don’t let floating plants shade Virginalis—light drives flowering

• ❌ Don’t plant too deep (>30") if you want frequent blooms
